breathing..... in out in out
I have been doing a lot of thought..... and trying to create a plan
We have a GP appointment on monday arvo to get stitches removed, so will have a chat to him about a few things
My thoughts are heading along the hormone lines....
this kid has had MAJOR pmt for a long time now. she gets absolutely murderous and this injury happened during one of these episodes. I am wondering if maybe putting her on the pill or something might balance things out a bit. at the very least, with the pill, we will know when the storm is about to hit......
I have never really suffered pmt, aside from the odd outburst, and dont know if the pill can even help - is anyone more knowledgeable about this then me?? maybe even some kind of mild relaxant taken for a few days prior or something..... just pondering aloud. dunno
any thoughts??
sorry for all the swear words yesterday - i could have murdered someone myself.....
looking forward to having a quiet movie night at home tonight with the offspring. i have hired Enchanted , have maltesers and chips, will pop some popcorn and put it through the big speakers. His lordship is going to a trivia night with an ex workmate.
hope it is as relaxing in reality as it is in my mind.....

Bad language warning
that dickhead, that works in the Community Adolescent Mental Health team is a fucking idiot.
I am way too angry here to make sense
He has just TOTALLY fucked up any chance for her to get any help
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
idiot
sorry - am ranting here
am waiting for a return phone call from the Service Manager of the entire unit.
blown
chances blown
fuckwit
sorry - i did warn you i would swear
maybe later i will come back and replace them with asterisk's or something
here is a few points
- he was dithering and uncertain when we arrived
- he sat and stared at her for probably 30 seconds between ineffectual questions, making ME uncomfortable, let alone her
- he asked HER if she needed help (take a look at that arm buddy) and when she said 'no' he said ok... session lasted 17 minutes
- I had to suggest to him that he try to give her some ways to deal with her anger and strong emotions, fuck, are they going to pay ME for that...
- he did not try, at all, to put her at ease, or make her feel comfortable enough to talk
- he told her that she didnt have any mental health issues and would need no medication - BASED ON WHAT YOU FUCKWIT (she is definately obsessive and probably at least co-dependent, i dont think she needs medication either, but she DEFINATELY needs help) now she has just had her denial confirmed, there is no problem with her, and it is me that has the issue. FARK
I would like to know what 'qualifications' this dickhead has. I had more of an idea of what to say then him, and i have NO qualifications. Pity she wont talk to me.
I took her there because i thought (clearly wrongly) that these people would be dealing with teenagers on a day to day basis and know how to make them feel comfortable enought to talk.
He just rang
apparently the fuckwit counsellor we saw is the one that TRAINS THESE PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Goddess help us. and our children. He has no answers. Nothing except to offer to get a female to talk to her. Yeah, as if she is going to put herself through that again.
oh well
i guess it is all up to me now
how do i do that when she refuses to talk with me and just gets angry if i try
am going now to stomp and rant and rave and swear for a while

Hot tip...
Now i want the truth - who among you ALREADY KNEW THIS????
On the sides of cling wrap, foil etc are two little tabs that you push in to stop the roll from coming out while you are using it etc. OMG It even says - 'push to keep roll in place'. HOW LONG HAVE THEY BEEN THERE???? I want the truth, did any of you know this already. And who jumped straight up to check their own wrap/foils.
Ingenious.
Will blog later.
Just passing on VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION.
